[Verse 3: Shaquille O’Neal]

I'm done with rap beefs, subliminal quotes^✦

Cats saying they hustle, but never^✦ visioned Coke

See Shaq Deezy^✦ from the bricks, I took a brick, flip a clip

Made big chips

I see stick up kids that's stuck up kids

Saying they bullet proof, just cause they luck outlived

They must admit God loved^✦ them, far as the rest goes

Bllack was the dress coad, crave you all dugged^✦ them

Red if you see Shaq, banging^✦ on them

Hanging^✦ on ryms, that was before^✦ Gats and Tims

I had a white bomber,^✦ a white fir color

MC, your people call me Mill

Was bumpin^✦ in my cousin^✦ FCC

Ask Mastafa and that lil Nigga^✦ Doo bout Shaq Deezy^✦

They told me "Shaq, you a baller,^✦ stay away^✦ from the streets"

That's why I bang on fake ass Jordans, and fake ass beats

Bitch!

[Verse 4: Cassidy]

Niggas^✦ know me, I'm young but I'm an OG

And niggas^✦ know I'm from the HOOD

On the block, I pitch rock, I had to strip lot

Live and born in the ghetto,^✦ never^✦ wanna^✦ hear cops

And hip hop like a gig, I'm tryna^✦ make it big

But sometimes I hate the biz, cause how fake it is

You wanna^✦

Even^✦ with a vest on, you still gon break a rib

I torture his ass, he was like my son, but that nigga^✦ done stick a fork in his ass

You Bun B-ed it, you got me dumb heated^✦

I'm undefeated, that's why I'm cocky^✦ and conceited

I'm confedent, cause my bars the most domanant

And I got chicks in other^✦ contenents, giving^✦ me complements

You ain't famous as me, I got chicks screamin that don't even^✦ speak the same language as me

[Verse 5: Sheek Louch]

A lot of yelling, but you ain't really^✦ saying nothing

The whole New York can tell that bitch nigga^✦ frontin

Ice grill, seen it

I done shot at niggas,^✦ bust the gun off, and had a hood rat cleaning

So much talk about^✦ who run New York

They should really^✦ ask bout who running in New York

I know me, P, Jada,^✦ and Loso^✦ talk

D block, do work with the hawk

I'm on school murder^✦

Hate it, skip fresh, park the V outside Willy^✦ Burger^✦

With D and them

You just have dreams of being them

You brothers,^✦ white BM with the uni covers

Now I'm old enough to fuck niggas'^✦ mothers^✦

So I light up, drink about^✦ 3 Caronas

Black mask, black ice Atonas^✦

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Cassidy provides a functional, high-energy delivery that relies heavily on internal rhyme structures typical of his mid-2000s era, though the lyrical content remains narratively thin and relies on established street-rap tropes.

Delivery

Assonance-heavy internal rhymingMonosyllabic cadence lockingAABB rhyme structure

Rhyme Architecture: Cassidy employs an AABB-adjacent scheme, utilizing heavy internal rhyme density within each line (OG/HOOD/rock/lot/cops/hop/big) to maintain forward momentum despite the simplistic lyrical content.
